Hi all
I have purchased a windows Rt and love it. The only thing I can't figure out is I can't access my dvr cameras though internet explorer on my device through my ip address and port number. I can view it on my desktop pc.
Is there any app or way I can view my dvr host on windows rt??

How is the DVR content presented? If it's HTML(5), that should be no problem at all, so it's probably not. The next most likely is Flash, which RT supports but which may not work when specifying an IP address. You could try using the registry tweak that was previously required for Flash on unknown sites (see the EnableFlash script in my signature). If it's a Java applet, you're screwed (in more ways than one; if you've had the Java browser plugin enabled on your home PC for the last few months, there's an excellent chance that your machine has been infected through it; that thing has atrocious security bugs). If it's some other third-party plugin, for example an ActiveX control from the DVR manufacturer, it's probably not going to work on RT just because RT run on ARM chips and typical ActiveX controls are compiled for x86 (it's possible to make ARM ActiveX, but nobody does and you'd need to "jailbreak" the device before installing the plugin anyhow).

The DVR is set up with its own ip and port forwarding number, and that how I connect to it from other desktop PC's. Or it gives me an option to view it through a program called CMS lite which the Win RT doesn't allow me the download. I have jailbroken my RT as well.
What happens when you connect to that IP and port on your RT device? What do you see in the browser (if anything)? Does it connect, or does it say it couldn't find the site? You haven't actually explained the problem very well at all, even to the point of saying what device it is. We probably don't have your exact setup at home, so you'll need to be very precise describing it so that we know how to fix it.
You also didn't answer my question in the previous post. How is the content normally presented? Flash or HTML5 should be fine, but *might* take some tweaking. Java or a plugin are unlikely to work, although I suppose it's possible that the x86 emulator could be made to work with a plugin.
For that matter, have you tried the x86 emulator with your CMS Lite program? It's unlikely to work, but worth a shot.

my device is a windows rt surface. when I open internet explorer and type in my ip and port number in the search engine it comes up with my login and password which I type in. after that the screen comes to a blank white screen which gives me the option. Webserver or CMS lite setup I always view them from webserver. Once I click webserver the screen just says on a blank white screen.
as for how the content present normally im not really sure.
A simple way to tell is to load the page in a desktop browser where it works, then right-click the video and see what menu comes up. If it's the Flashplayer menu, that's something that RT can handle. If it's something else (Silverlight or Java or a custom ActiveX), that may not be possible. Another way to tell would be to save that blank page to a file (I believe Ctrl+S works for this, at least on the desktop mode of IE, or you can do it from the Tools->File menu, or the File menu on the menu bar that is shown when you tap Alt). Send or post the HTML somewhere that we can read it, and we can tell you what it will take to view the page.
another question.. im still new to the windows rt group I have jail broken the RT surface. Is there any torrent client for downloads.
I wanna download movies from a website. thanks
Free Download Manager (it is in the ported apps thread) can be used as a torrent client. However discussion of piracy is prohibited so might want to zip it on the movies part.
Monotorrent was attempted on RT but I think ended up being buggy.

can u please send me the link
Read the forum rules, especially the first one. Then, read my signature. I don't mind helping people find obscure stuff, but this does not qualify. Please put forth at least a little effort on your own part...
I shouldn't have to share a link having told you where it is. Its easy to find, a) its in the list of ported applications in the RT development and hacking section. b) it has its own thread in that same section. c) it is listed on google. d) it is listed on forum search.

# Wake-On-Lan enabled on PC's
# allow http traffic on Port 7777
# obtain MAC Address for all PC's you wish to 'control'
# Multi form factor - check CAB name for correct version for your device
1. Install cab on device
2. Install the service via the msi installer on any PC's you wish to 'control'
3. Edit the WakeAndShakeConfig.xml on the device OR use the settings screen from within the app - enter your PC's IP addresses (or host name) and their corresponding MAC addresses.
09/02/2010 - Settings screen added (still needs some tweaking, a few navigation bugs)
Any Q's shout.
If you find this useful & wish to donate please see my sig button.

Hi dt_matthews,
it will be very amazing was it possible to skin it for DUSK.
I have seen the screenshot and i was thinking is this something what be possible in a future version?
added IP address to settings xml and config, this is required if your PPC doesnt have regsitry entries mimicking hosts file lookup, ip address will be shown in the machine drop-down list along with the machine name
added IP address to xml and to settings screen - this is required for PPC's that dont have registry entries which mimic hosts file lookups, these IP's are displayed in the machine dropdown along with the machine name
Been waiting for an app like this
To bad I can't get the settings screen to work, it won't save the data I type in to the host, ip and mac fields.
And the xml file is clean except from the settings tag so I don't know how to modify the parameters
Please help...
HTML:
<settings><machine name="machineName1" mac="071EB93CAD68" ip="192.168.1.87"/><machine name="machineName2" mac="0219DDAFC6B3" ip="192.168.1.85"/><machine name="machineName3" mac="001A437AA515" ip="192.168.1.65"/></settings>
This is a sample of a valid version of the xnml config. Just obviously change the name tags, the mac and the IP addresses to match your machines. then run the service installer on your machines and the cab on your device and you should be fine.
shout if its not clear
cheers,
dan
Thanx! Works a lot better when one knows the param names
Next problem
Can't get the HTTP Shutdown to run properly on the PC. It starts automatic but then stopps as it has no work to do (according to windows)
Suggestions?

that is as designed, its an http listener which wont be show as actively 'doing' anything by svchost.exe [service manager]. as long as you are connected to the same network (and workgroup) it should be ok. let me know
i've tried this on two machines now. on one of them it won't work at all. on the other i got it to reboot ones. but know it doesn't work anymore.
on both machines windows reports application error on shutdownpcservice.exe and wants to send an error report to microsoft.
in the application log (under computer managment) i used to see how the shutdownservice started to listen to port 7777, but not anymore. it's like it not running.
i've tried to reinstall the program but that didn't do it.
thanks for your effort Dan

hey dude,
i've updated the service installer (see post #1) - uninstall the last version (make sure the service is uninstalled fully, you may need to uninstall it from the cmd line if it wont uninstall via the GUI) then install the new version, that is the version i am running without problems, let me know how you get on, happy to help with any tweaking ;-)
Can this be used to put the PC to sleep (into standby) rather than shutdown? If not, could this feature be added?
Windows cmd line doesnt support sleep, but there is an alternative i could use (i think), but i cant do it straight away since my pc with the code on has just given up the ghost and it'll be a bit of time till i can get the data off it, but let me know if you can wait and i'll do it as soona s i can.
cheers,
dan
I was trying to access the site of CyanogenMod and fiound instead yet another fake antivrus page! See attached screenshot.
Has that website definetely gone?
Or what?
I just tested it and the site is up and working perfectly.
as a side note: you aren't using adblock on your chrome?
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom
have you tried from a different pc? what if your pc has a malware on it... i.e. modified hosts or something
how strange though that something may target cyanogenmod website!
This happens, if you access it from open wi-fi networks or shared IPs (possibly one of the PCs got infected)
Had this on a open network (also on miui-developers) - but in work and at home it works.
I've got the same, just need to confirm the code from pic
My PC ir running Linux Kubuntu 11.04, ethernet link to a Linux based router and I personally configured both.
This doesn't mean that my PC is virus free.
I'm using Google Chrome v12 with AdBlockPlus.
That page came out more than once also with Mozilla Firefox v5 (Linux port) w/o AdBlock.
What I can guess is a form of hijacking (either DNS or the website itself).
By the way, keep in mind that I was being directed to the web site without the "www" domain name, but just "http://cyanogenmod.com/".
Now you'll get redirected to the third domain level with the "www".
So something definitely happened there.
Long time follower of all of the work done here. Its a shame that the device is so locked down and no progress has been made. However, I thought I would share with anyone who is interested that its now possible to sync your kin on linux without the need for a virtualbox and windows loaded up.
You can find the fork of lib-mtp at: github [dot] com/kbhomes/libmtp-zune
I've tested it and am able to now sync via terminal or with gMTP. The project was started with the hopes of syncing zunes.. Zune has the same handshake process as the KIN (MTPz)
The background on how it came to be can be found on his project blog: kbhomes.github [dot] com/blog [dot] html.
Hope this helps anyone else who just would like to sync pictures, video, images, songs.
Back to lurking I will go.
Well, it was possible already. No one here uses virtual machines (i hope) in linux but mono runtime.
At least till Kino version comes, so more native (c++ over libusb) approach would be taken.
If you are able to use the standard MTPz way (not our shorcut mtp propietary command), a better approach would be to help here into decrypting the app syncing/uploading procedure, so we could understand what xna framework does in the background and do homebrew launch (which could then help the phone development).
On the other hand, being able to "transparent" sincing would be kind of a good stuff if you could use the kin in software like rythmbox
Sounds good. I hadnt thought abou going at the KIN through Linux before although it would make sense if the KIN was open source. I dont know how much this will help us though.
What he's providing is a fork of the mighty libmtp libraries & tools which is a open implementation of mtp (right one) used by almost any access on the linux environment to mtp devices.
in that fork, he redid the real stuff (aka MTPz) which could be just said as "bypassing" the kin handshake between zune and the device. At least if kin operates exactly like a Zune device (which we think).
It could help by using the kin as a normal (not protected) device on linux providing which kino does IF programs are redirected to it instead normal libmtp, so you can access files and also use in Zune-like software.
On my test field, i wasn't able to compile the software "out of the box" to try on my debian box, so no providing compilation instructions nor a .deb file (debian & ubuntu flavours) or a .rpm file (fedora & redhat 's) makes it just another utility which is non usable by common joe.
What i meant above is that the blog (which i followed back in the day) explains what he did for reversing mtpz protocol, but is not a walkthrough, so we can't just take it and learn, for example, how the kin receives "half succesfully" a XNA application, as i did back in the day in the thread "XNA madness".
better now?
What f we programm an application split it in half and add a part we dont care about for the other half that does nothing then send it to the device with a strip that tells it to complete itself by recommbining itslef on the device?
I have a Nexus 10 and I am tired of android and I'm going to sell it and get a windows RT tablet (probably the just anounced Nokia 2520). The only things I do with my tablet is download comics from my computer (*.cbr files) and then put them on my tablet and read them and also internet browsing. Can I do these things with a windows RT tablet? Is there a file manager to put the files to the tablet from the PC? Is there a comic book reader app? How smoothly does it show the pages changing in a comic book? If someone could help me with this I would be really greatful.

There are a couple of CBR readers in the store and yes there is a full file manager in Windows RT. It is pretty similar to windows 8 in that regard. I would actually suggest though that you sync the files from your PC to SkyDrive and then Sync them down to RT.
When you with skydrive can you select the exact folder you want to put the files in the tablet?
You cannot connect a windows RT tablet to a PC directly with a USB cable as with android tablets. But windows RT is a near full port of windows 8. So you get the regular windows 8 file browser, regular internet explorer file download abilities. Skydrive can sync your files as already mentioned. Or a simple USB memory stick plugged into your PC, copy files onto it, plug it into your RT, copy files off of it. And network file servers work too.

No if you go for the Surface 2.
I had a surface rt, note 10.1 and a xoom and i love reading comics, but to be honest i like more reading on a android
Android - perfect viewer
Surface rt - CBReader (i test all cbr readers and this one is the best)
Both work preatty good but on android is so much better. On android the autozoom and two fingers zoom is flawless in metro is some pain in the ass sometimes

Oh, in Dell XPS10 manual that was said to be possible, but was not working in real. I thought that's engineering fail in Dell, but really - other RT devices also can't be connected via USB? Even some RNDIS and ActiveSync (from WM) like behavior would be nice here...

No, the microUSB is charging only and on most tablets also USB host (use one of the old android USB OTG adaptors). Windows RT is almost a direct port of windows 8 to ARM. Windows does not support acting as a USB device, only USB host is supported. Windows NT (the kernel, or the very bottom layer of the operating system) does support USB device mode as windows phone 8 also uses the NT kernel and can be USB device, in theory they could have added a USB device mode driver to windows 8 but they didnt.
Instead though you can use a memory stick because well, its windows, or if you share a network drive from your main machine you can view it on the tablet, FTP clients are available too if you put an FTP server on your main system. Skydrive synchronisation, dropbox app, google drive in browser. Lots of ways of moving files.
Adding USB device mode would be a nice touch on their part though....
Alot of x86 chipsets don't support it though so on x86 tablets the cost factor of adding an external USB device mode chip may be a factor.
Well if your going for a lower price the $349 Asus t100 is also a good choice it runs complete windows 8.1 and comes with Microsoft office for free. The battery life is around 11 hour use and it comes with a free keyboard dock. You can run any x86 windows legacy applications on this device.

Windows explorer is far better than any android file manager I have come across. Internet explorer as a windows web browser may not be the best but massively exceeds any mobile browser I have ever come across.

Hi Guys
I am after a Android app that I use and I really need which is called Mobile CMS. I want to know is there a way to install Android apps on the Surface RT and run. I connect to my work cameras using my IP address and port number to connect to my DVR.
or if they is any other software I can use for what im looking for?
Your help is much needed
Thanks
Steve
"Is there any way"? No. Why would you even think that? Can you install iOS apps on Android? No!
"any other software"? I don't know. There's a number of protocols used for those types of connections. You may even be able to just use a web browser; RT (unlike recent versions of Android) supports Flash, and some of those cameras let you view their feeds in the browser using Flash.

Iv tried using the web browser but it doesnt want to open it. Its just a blank page with a grey X on the corner of the page meaning it doesnt allow to view the image.
Probably needs a different plugin then, like Silverlight or Java. RT supports Flash, but no others. That's too bad.
Just checking: is your Surface up to date? *VERY* old RT firmware would not run Flash by default on most sites.
Anyhow, if you know what protocol it uses for video streaming, you can probably find an app in the store that understands it and can display the feed.

You've had the only answer possible with the information given.
What is the DVR in use?
The forums for the DVR in question would be able to help better.
The only other possible answer: buy an android device
